A parser for reading the datafile and for creating instances of document-class data structures in accordance with general document class definitions. A user interface for inputting purpose parameters specifying a document variation and a selection engine for utilizing the current values of the purpose parameters for generating customized versions of the document.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for generating a shared secret value between entities in a data communication system, one or more of the entities having a plurality of members for participation in the communication system, each member having a long term private key and a corresponding long term public key. The method comprises the steps of generating a short term private and a corresponding short term public key for each of the members; exchanging short term public keys of the members within an entity. For each member then computing an intra-entity shared key by mathematically combining the short term public keys of each the members computing an intra-entity public key by mathematically combining its short-term private key, the long term private key and the intra-entity shared key.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and process for correlating points on a spatial body to corresponding points on a database body formed from pre-aquired images of the spatial body. The system and process involve matching the spatial points with the corresponding database points using relative positional information between the spatial points and the database points. Symmetric false matches are detected and discarded by fitting the spatial points and database points to a first and second closed body, respectively, and comparing the orientation of the spatial points and the database points projected onto the closed bodies.
